Hello, this has be asked before but the answer is not clear to me.
Perhaps someone else could have a go at explaining.

I'm using Word's outline numbering, and one of my heading is numbered
(i), (ii), (iii) and so on. I would like the roman numerals in each
case to be italicized, but the parens not.

I know I can make the font of the numbering different to that of the
whole paragraph, but can I make the font of the number itself different
to the characters surrounding it?

Thanks, John
